Pediatric Eye Care Minnetonka

Welcome to our Minnetonka center, where exceptional pediatric eye care is our top priority. We understand the immense importance of safeguarding and nurturing children’s vision, as 70% of their sensory receptors are concentrated in their eyes. Having clear vision is essential for their daily activities and plays a fundamental role in their learning and perception of the world around them. Our dedicated team of skilled physicians is passionate about providing your child with the best possible visual support. To achieve this, we follow the guidelines set forth by the American Optometric Association (AOA), which strongly recommends regular comprehensive eye exams at key stages during your child’s formative years. The first eye exam, scheduled at six months of age, is a critical milestone. During this time, your baby’s visual system is rapidly developing, and early detection of potential issues can be crucial in promptly addressing them. To ensure ongoing visual health, we encourage parents to bring their children in for annual eye exams thereafter. These regular check-ups are designed to proactively identify any emerging vision problems, potential injuries, or eye diseases. By detecting these concerns early on, we can implement appropriate interventions and treatments, safeguarding your child’s vision and overall well-being. 

Additionally, we recommend scheduling another exam three years before your child starts first grade. This examination serves as an important checkpoint before they enter a crucial phase of their education journey. Our comprehensive eye exams cover a wide range of assessments to thoroughly evaluate your child’s visual health. We examine visual acuity, tracking abilities, focusing skills, nearsightedness, farsightedness, amblyopia (commonly known as lazy eye), crossed eyes, dyslexia, and color blindness. Each aspect is carefully analyzed by our experienced team to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s ocular health. Don’t wait to prioritize your child’s visual health. Schedule an appointment with us today and experience exceptional pediatric eye care that will lay the foundation for a lifetime of clear vision and successful learning experiences.
